German football superstar Thomas Muller clearly wasn't keen to talk to the media on arrival in Berlin, Germany, when returning from a training camp with his club, Bayern Munich.

A known prankster, Muller strolled through the arrival's area talking into what seemed, at first glance to be a mobile phone.
